Apple has implicitly (and sometimes explicitly) taken responsibility for the quality and content of apps in the store. You may have noticed that this has been profitable choice. Taking responsibility for what you put in your customer's ha

Why are you even interviewing candidates that you don't want to have anything to do with? Why don't you just filter those candidates out at some earlier point in the hiring process?

every one I've ever played seems like excel with a GUI This is true, but the art of strategy game design is in bolting the right interface to the right spreadsheet so that the people will actually enjoy applying themselves to the problem.

Seconded. The lead designer of Rise of Nations was Brian Reynolds, who also designed "Sid Meier's" Civilization II and Alpha Centauri, and it shows. Just make sure you don't have anything important planned for the next six months.

The only way the app would have been age limited for viewing and downloading was if the app was rated accordingly and parental controls were active This would seem to bolster my argument. The only way to not see them as an adult was to

I said they didn't solve the problem. You said they did. I did not say that they solved the problem for all users. I said that "for some set of their customers", they did in my original post and reiterated that in my second post by saying

Forgive me if I do not divine any great insight from your use of ellipsis. I honestly do not know what you're talking about, and your approach does not clarify anything. It is obvious that you disagree with me, but it is not obvious in what

The problem defined by the parent comment was " the app store is displaying information you aren't interested in ". For the set of users that are not interested in "iBoobs", etc. the App Store no longer displays that information. I thought

Read what I wrote again. I said adults because presumably all of these applications were already age limited to adults. The thing is, as I said, not all adults want softcore pornography . Hence, for that set of users, the App Store jus

What arguments are being presented? I quoted the article. You sighed. It's unclear what you think is being argued by claiming nonsense like that Apple is acting like Stalin.

In the analogy, Apple's store is the restaurant. Once you leave the restaurant (the store), Apple's policies within the restaurant do not apply. Shedding the analogy: They can't and don't do anything to stop you from viewing pornography (or

We can also question the validity and reasoning of the criticism and hopefully arrive at a better level of criticism. It does no good to simply say "I disagree, therefore it is wrong." In this case, the author has characterized Apple's oper

If the app store is displaying information you aren't interested in, then that's Apple's problem. They didn't solve the problem. Actually, for some set of their customers, they did. Not every adult is interested in buying softcore pornogr

You've restated exactly the part that I do understand. What I don't understand is where you see a connection between your previous purchases and what Apple charges for what they produce. You specifically said that Apple would charge you f
